Wanted: EU President! (2nd part)

With the Lisbon Treaty now ratified by the EU, there is now the chance to appoint a President of the 27 state bloc.

Tony Blair was at one time the only runner in the race. But his one time EU allies have turned against him – including French President Nicolas Sarkozy.

If it ain’t Blair then who should it be? Why did opinion turn against him? Who are the players who are shaping opinion behind the scenes?

Debate hosted by France 24’s Mark Owen with guests:

Gaëtane RICARD-NIHOUL, General Secretary of Notre Europe.

Laura DAGG, Editor of the online review Toute l’Europe www.touteleurope.fr

Christophe ROBEET, France 24 Europe specialist.

by satellite from London, Sophie LOUSSOUARN, Professor at the Institut d’Etudes Politiques, Paris.

Programme prepared by Marie Billon and Perrine Desplats
